Ryan keeps teasing me about how much weight he thinks I am going to gain during pregnancy. He tells me about all the books he has been reading and what they have said. I don’t believe him. There is no way.
Appearantly there is a way!!!! Based on my height and current weight, I filled out this little thingy and this is what it said…
Pregnancy weight gain estimator |
You should gain roughly 25-35 lbs. during your pregnancy.
Over the last two trimesters you should gain about 4 lbs. every 4 weeks.
How it breaks down
If you gained the average of range above, this is where the weight would go (totals are rounded):
| Maternal: | |
|---|---|
| Uterus | 2.39 lbs. |
| Breasts | 1.0 lbs. |
| Blood | 3.09 lbs. |
| Water | 4.15 lbs. |
| Fat | 8.27 lbs. |
| Subtotal | 18.89 lbs. |
| Fetal: |
|
| Fetus | 7.5 lbs. |
| Placenta | 1.6 lbs. |
| Amniotic Fluid | 1.97 lbs. |
| Subtotal | 11.07 lbs. |
| Total | 29.96 lbs.
|
Holy Cow.
No pun intended.

Have you ever seen a pregnant person??
And that is if the baby is only 7.5 lbs. Do you remember how big Ryan was when he was born:)
This weight thing is just an estimate. There is no hard and fast rule that says you have to gain that much. Just try to eat as healthy as you can and relax.
